Alimony is not tax-deductible, and it is not taxable income for the recipient. In Oklahoma, trial courts do not have the discretion to make modification or termination of spousal support alimony effective as of the date that the motion to modify or terminate the alimony was filed.

There’s a heartbreaking reality some families face: minor children within the extended family are at risk due to unfit parents. Substance abuse, violence, or other dangerous situations can leave these children in desperate need of intervention. When the alternative is foster care, a loving family member may take action.
